It was the day before the Elimination Chamber and Dean wanted to spend a little bit of time with the twins for the day, he looked down to see them still gripping some of his shirt as their heads laid in the crook of his shoulders he couldn't help but smile. He figured he could take them to the mall to get some new stuff he quietly moved them out of his grip and gently picked them up and laid them back down just as he headed into the bathroom to shower. Once he was finished and came out fully dressed the twins were finally awake.
"Hey guys". Dean said.
"Hey daddy". Sophie said.
"Sup dad". TJ said.
Whenever they called him 'dad' it always seemed to put a bright smile on his face, he then noticed the look on TJ's face and knew something was wrong.
"Soph, why don't you get ready while i talk to TJ about something". Dean said.
"Ok". She said.
The young girl had then took some clothes and headed into the bathroom while Dean sat down next to his son. "You alright man?" Dean asked.
"I'm sorry about crying last night". TJ said.
"TJ you never have to be sorry for crying, everything just took a toll on you and had to let out your emotions that's all. You or Soph never have to be sorry about crying or being upset". Dean explained.
"I just thought that they would take us from you". TJ said with his voice cracking.
Dean then pulled TJ into a tight embrace just as he started to cry once again, Dean was gently rocking his son back and forth trying to get him calm. TJ was gripping the shirt tightly with his fist.
"I...didn't want...them to...take us". TJ said between sobs.
"Nobody will ever take you guys from me i promise". Dean said gently.
"I was so scared dad". TJ sobbed.
"Don't worry son i promise that nobody won't ever do anything to you or Sophie, i will always protect you guys". Dean said.
All of a sudden Dean was hit with a force as he seen Sophie hugging tightly to his left side he then threw his arms around both of them pulling them closer. "I love you guys never forget that". Dean said.
"We love you too". TJ said.
After a couple more minutes TJ had then gotten ready. "Dad what are we gonna do today?" TJ asked.
"I figured i could take you guys to the mall you guys need some new stuff anyway, it's like every day you guys grow at least a foot and a half if not more". Dean said.
"I know i'm growing i just don't know about Soph she's been that short since we were eight". TJ joked.
"I have not". Sophie said defensively.
"Alright enough you two let's go". Dean said.
the three had headed out but the entire time they hadn't noticed that Jackie and Jackson were following them but made sure to stay back a little, once they had finally arrived to the mall Dean had parked the rental and the twins got out while Jackie and Jackson had parked a bit further away as they watched the trio go into the store the two then made their move. Dean felt something in the pit of his stomach as if something isn't right.
"Stay close you guys i don't want you getting lost or anything, it's crowded enough". Dean said.
"Ok". They said.
The twins had stayed on either side of him the whole time they didn't get a basket since they weren't gonna be gone that long, when Dean was looking over something on a shelf he didn't know that Jackie and Jackson had quickly grabbed a hold of the twins and left.
"Come on guys let's go check somewhere else". Dean said.
Silence. That was the only thing he heard he spun around to see them gone. He felt fear, worry, everything take control over his body he began running up and down the aisles like a mad man.
"TJ! Sophie!" Dean called.
He was starting to attract attention around the store but he didn't give a damn the store manager and security guard had went up to him.
"Sir is everything alright?" The manager asked.
"No somebody took my kids". Dean said.
"What are their names?" The guard asked.
"TJ and Sophie, they're twins". He said quickly.
"Alright we'll search everywhere if they're not here we'll call the police. Do you have an idea on who could have taken them?" The guard replied.
"Their father and our mother". Dean answered.
"Wait if it was their parents how are they your kids?" The guard asked.
"Because i adopted them as my own, i'm their brother but i adopted them when they were babies". Dean said stressed. He was trying not to lose his cool and he was trying to keep the tears in his eyes at bay. "We have to find them my daughter has panic attacks and i'm the only one who can help her". He said.
"We'll find them come with me and i'll call the police for you, do you have anyone who you can call to be here with you". The guard said.
"Yeah i can call my friends". Dean said.
"Alright you call them and i can call the police". The guard said.
Dean quickly pulled his phone out and with shaky hands he was able to dial Seth's number he waited as it rang, soon the tears spilled from his eyes,
-What's up Dean. Seth answered.
-I need you and Roman to come down to the mall now. Dean said.
-Everything alright? I thought you wanted to spend the day with the twins". Seth said.
-Jackie and Jackson took them, they took my kids. Dean said with a sob.
-We're on our way just stay calm alright. Seth said.
-I'll try. Dean said.
He then hung his phone up and went to the security office while waiting on the police to arrive.
Meanwhile
Jackson was flying down the street in the car Jackie was sitting next to him in the passenger seat while the twins were in the back holding on to each other, Jackie had looked back at the twins and gave a smile.
"Don't worry we'll finally be a family like we should have been". Jackie said.
Sophie moved her face into TJ's shoulder as he held his sister tighter he was trying to stay strong for her, Sophie's breath then got caught in her throat she felt as if she couldn't breathe she kept gasping for air.
"Soph? Sophie you ok?" TJ asked concerned.
"I...can't...breathe". She said between breaths. She shut her eyes tightly trying to get her breathing under control but couldn't TJ could help her through the panic attacks but Dean was able to pull her from them. "TJ i want daddy". She whispered.
"Don't worry Soph he'll find us just like he always does". TJ said trying to calm her down.
"I'm scared". She whimpered.
"It'll be ok look just breath like i'm doing, in and out, in and out, in and out". He said instructing her.
"What's wrong with her?" Jackson asked.
"She's having a panic attack and the only person who can actually help her isn't here right now, no thanks to either of you". TJ snapped.
"Tyler James watch your tone". Jackie warned him.
"Shut up you old broad you should have just left us alone, we were fine without the both of you". TJ snapped again.
"Watch your tongue boy". Jackson said warning him now.
"Bite me you douche". TJ said.
Sophie then felt something in her stomach she knew what it was so she pulled away from her brother and threw up on the seat, TJ had gently patted her back as vomit continue to come.
"Oh come on". Jackson said complaining.
"It wasn't her fault so shut up". TJ said.
"Alright i had just about enough out of you". Jackson said.
"What are you gonna do? Hit a kid? Do you know what Dean would do to you if hit us? He would kill you". TJ said.
"Tyler James! That is enough! I will deal with Sophie just pull off at the next rest stop". Jackie said.
"I will do it i'm the only one who knows how to anyway". TJ said.
"Fine". Jackie said.
TJ then tried to pull his sister back to him but she didn't wanna to get vomit on him.
"It's alright Soph it's my job to look out for you remember, i'm the older one here". TJ said with a smile.
"Just by five minutes". Sophie said in a raspy voice.
"I'm still older and it's my job to look out for you just like Dean taught me". TJ said.
More tears had spilled from her eyes. "I miss him TJ". She sobbed.
"I do too and he misses us too, we'll get out of this i promise". TJ said.
"How do you know". She said.
He then whispered in her ear. "I have my phone".
While
The police have arrived and Dean gave them all of the information by this time Roman and Seth had rushed in to see Dean getting finished talking with an officer so they rushed over.
"Dean we got here as fast as we could". Roman said.
"Any word yet?" Seth asked.
"No, i had my back turned for a second. One second and they're gone". Dean said breaking down.
"Hey this wasn't your fault". Roman said.
"Yes it is, i wasn't watching or protecting them like i should have been doing". Dean said.
"Look their smart kids they'll know what to do". Seth said.
"I can't stop thinking if they're ok, if Sophie has an attack i'm the only one who can help her. TJ can do what he can but i'm the only one who knows what to do". Dean said.
Just then Dean's phone rang and he didn't bother looking at the caller ID so he just answered it.
-Yeah. Dean answered.
-Dad? TJ voice came through.
-TJ? Dean asked.
-It's me, Sophie's here too. Dad we're scared can you come get us. TJ said.
-It's gonna be alright buddy i promise, do you know where you guys are? Dean replied.
-Were at a rest stop, Soph got sick from an attack. TJ said.
-Can you put her on son? Dean asked.
There was a brief pause before Sophie came on with a muffled cry. -Daddy? She asked sniffing.
-Hey baby are you ok? Dean asked.
-I'm scared daddy can you come get us? Sophie replied with a shaky voice.
-I'm coming sweetheart just hold on ok, daddy's coming i promise. Dean said.
-Dad we gotta go i'll send a text to let you know where we're at. TJ said coming back on.
-Alright, TJ watch over Sophie i'll get you guys back i promise. Dean said.
-I promise i'll watch her dad, i love you. TJ said.
-I love you too buddy. Dean said.
-I love you daddy. Sophie said coming on.
-I love you too baby, you listen and do whatever TJ tells you to do alright sweetheart. Dean said.
-Ok. She said.
The phone then went out just as Dean wiped his face of the tears.
"Are they ok?" Roman asked.
"Sophie got sick after having an attack". Dean said.
"What do we do?" Seth asked.
"TJ said he'll text me when he knows where they're going so for now we wait". Dean said.
Meanwhile
Once the twins were finished with the phone Sophie quickly cleaned herself up and went back to Jackie and Jackson who were waiting while they were pumping gas.
"TJ when are you gonna do it?" Sophie asked quietly.
"When they're not around i'll do it". TJ said.
"I just want daddy". Sophie said choking on a sob.
TJ threw an arm around his sister and pulled her close. "Don't worry Soph he'll find us besides our phones have GPS i'm sure he'll find us". TJ assured her.
"Come on you two we gotta move". Jackie said.
They went and got back in the car as they headed down the road again after a 15 minute drive they had finally made it to a motel, Jackson went to go check in while Jackie took the twins inside they shrugged their shoulders as she put her hands on them when Jackson came back with the key they went into a room.
"This'll be just for today and tonight then tomorrow we'll go home". Jackie said.
"Home?" The twins asked.
"Back to Cincinnati of course that's where we began". Jackie said.
"I'm going to the bathroom". TJ said.
The young boy had went in the bathroom and locked the door as he pulled his phone out to text Dean once that was finished he went back out to see Jackie and Jackson gone while Sophie was on one of the beds crying so TJ went over to her.
"It'll be alright Soph i just texted dad now we have to wait". TJ said.
The young girl then sat up and sniffed. "I had an idea". She said.
"What is it?" TJ asked.
"Since they're not here why don't we leave to all we have to do is tell somebody, they'll call the police and they'll call dad". Sophie said.
"You are so my sister". TJ chuckled.
"Let's go". Sophie said.
The two had left the room looking back and forth to make sure it was safe then they had ran but didn't get far as they bumped into the motel manager.
"You guys alright?" He asked.
"No listen our parents kidnapped us from our brother, we just want to get away from them before they come back". TJ explained.
"Come on i'll help you". He said.
"Thanks". They said.
The manager had called the police and they showed after a couple of minutes, TJ had told them everything that happened so while one officer stayed with the twins the other had called for back up and they arrived in minutes. Jackie and Jackson has arrived back at the motel but noticed the cop cars.
"Those little brats". Jackson said.
They got out of the car just as two cops went up to them and handcuffed them, they were charged with kidnapping and taken to the station to get processed and booked. The twins were then brought to the station but stayed in a kid's room just as a detective came in.
"Hi guys i'm Alex". Alex said.
"I'm TJ and this is my sister Sophie". TJ said.
"Did you find our dad?" Sophie asked.
"I thought your dad was arrested". Alex said.
"Dean's our brother but he adopted us and he let's us call him, dad". TJ explained.
"We haven't been able to contact him have either of you tried". Alex said.
"I texted him the motel we were at but not recently.
"How about you give me the number and i'll call him for you". Alex said.
TJ then wrote down the number while they snacked on some cookies.
Meanwhile
Dean kept tapping his fingers together impatiently and stared at his phone to ring.
"Come on already dammit ring". Dean mumbled.
"It's not gonna ring because you told it to". Seth said.
"I haven't heard anything from TJ since the text and now i'm worried". Dean said.
"He's probably waiting on Jackie and Jackson to leave". Roman said.
Just then Dean's phone rang and he quickly answered it. -Hello. Dean answered.
-Is this a mister Dean Ambrose? A woman's voice asked.
-This is he. Dean said.
-Dean my name's Alex i'm a detective and i have a TJ and Sophie here, we arrested the parents. Alex said.
-Thank you, where are you located? Dean asked.
He quickly wrote down the address of the station and hung up.
"Well?" Seth asked.
"Let's go get my kids". Dean said.
The trio began the drive to the station, for what seemed like hours they had finally made it and before the car was even parked Dean jumped out running in like a mad man. Once inside Dean began looking around till the Sergeant approached him.
"Can i help you sir". The Sergeant said.
"I'm looking for a detective Alex she said that she found my kids". Dean said.
Just then the woman had approached. "I got this Sarge". She said. The Sergeant then walked away just as she faced Dean. "You must be Dean, i'm Alex follow me". She said.
"Are the twins ok?" Dean asked.
"They seem to be ok but they've been asking for you so we haven't been able to get them checked out". Alex said.
"Where are Jackie and Jackson?" Dean asked.
"They've been booked and processed, are they your parents as well?" Alex replied.
"Jackson's not my father but Jackie's just our mother she wasn't even really a mother, she left when i was 18 and the twins were just a couple months old". Dean explained.
"TJ said that your really their brother but you have adopted them as your own". Alex said.
"I have because i knew that i would always be there for them unlike their parents, I've been raising them since they were babies so i am like their dad". Dean explained.
They made it to the kids room Alex opened the door a little getting the twins attention. "Hey guys someone's here to see you". Alex said.
She opened the door more to reveal Dean as he got on his knees opening his arms.
"Dad!" TJ called.
"Daddy!" Sophie called.
The rushed and hugged him as he wrapped both arms around them hugging both tightly, Sophie had started crying in Dean's neck soaking it with tears.
"Shh it's alright now guys everything's gonna be alright, i'm here guys. Daddy's here, I've got you". Dean murmured in their ears.
Soon TJ had started crying holding on tighter to Dean just as Sophie did. "It's alright now you guys i'm here, daddy's here now I've got you". Dean soothed them.
TJ finally broke from the hold while Sophie remained in Dean's hold not letting him go at all so he hoisted her up and he brought TJ close to his side.
"Thank you". Dean said to Alex.
"It's no problem but we should get them checked out just to make sure everything's ok". Alex said.
Dean nodded as he kissed Sophie's temple then the top of TJ's head they went out to the lobby, Dean seen his partners waiting on them and the twins didn't notice yet.
"Hey guys". Dean said to them. They looked at him as they waited for him to finish. "Look over there". He said.
They looked over to see Seth and Roman so they wasted no time in rushing over to them, the two men had gotten down as the twins crashing into them. Seth held onto TJ while Roman held onto Sophie, they stayed that way for a couple minutes then switched just as Dean came back over. Sophie had went back to Dean's side holding onto him for dear life.
"I'm right here sweetheart i'm not going no where". Dean said gently.
"I was really scared daddy". Sophie whimpered.
Dean then hoisted his little girl up again and held her as she had her arms wrapped tightly around his neck, Dean then took the twins to get checked out at a local hospital Sophie had begged and pleaded for him not to leave so he stayed in the room the whole time while Seth and Roman stayed in the waiting room. A doctor had looked over both kids and they were fine once they were released they headed back Dean wanted to stay in the back with the twins has they stayed glued to his side the whole time, Sophie had fallen asleep as she held some of Dean's shirt in her small fist.
"Dad". TJ said.
"What is it sport". Dean said.
"When they had us and we were driving i kept mouthing off at them and i thought that Jackson would hit me". TJ said.
Dean growled a bit just as he felt his blood boiling he tried to push those thoughts away for the time being he then kissed TJ's temple and brought him closer as he was rubbing his back soothingly.
"It's alright bud they won't ever hurt you guys again i promise". Dean said.
TJ then felt sleepy but he kept jolting awake. "Get some rest bud it's a long drive back". Dean said.
The young boy had gripped some of Dean's jacket as he fell into a peaceful sleep, Sophie had started whimpering getting Dean's attention.
"Shh sweetheart shh it's ok, it's alright baby daddy's here i'm here". Dean whispered into her ear.
Sophie had then settled down just as Dean held them both tightly as if they were gonna disappear again, the rest of the drive was quiet except from the soft snores coming from the twins. They had finally made it back to the hotel so Dean carried Sophie in while Roman had gotten TJ, they brought them up to the room and laid them down covering them up.
"Think they'll be ok?" Seth asked.
"I don't know we'll see". Dean said.
They headed to the patio so they won't disturb the twins, Dean had drank half his beer already and both his friends knew something was up.
"Dean it wasn't your fault". Seth said.
"Seth i don't wanna talk about it". Dean said.
He kept flexing his fingers trying to get the anger out of his body he was lucky he didn't break the beer bottle.
"I'm just saying it wasn't your fault so don't blame yourself". Seth said.
"I looked away for one damn second and they were gone, i don't know what i'd do if i lost them". Dean said.
"Well they're here, they are safe and nothing bad happened". Roman said.
"I don't know if you guys heard in the car but TJ told me when he was mouthing off to that dick he thought that Jackson was gonna hit him, if he laid a hand on either of them he would be a dead man". Dean said scowling.
"Well after this you won't ever have to worry about them right". Seth said.
"They've been arrested for kidnapping but i don't know if they'll go to prison or not, they won't stay away from the twins no matter what". Dean said.
"So what do we do?" Roman asked.
"They don't leave our sight except if we have to compete other than that they stay with us at all given times". Dean said.
"What if they have to go to the bathroom?" Seth asked.
"I'll stand outside the door while Sophie does her business and i'll go in with TJ". Dean said.
"Dean don't go overboard now". Roman said.
"They were taken from me once i'm not letting it happen again". Dean said forcefully.
Sophie had awoken and didn't see Dean around which caused her to panic she looked out the patio window to see him so she opened the door and jumped in his lap throwing her arms around him.
"What's wrong sweetheart?" Dean asked.
"I thought you left". She whispered.
"I'll never leave you guys sweetheart ever". Dean said.
"We'll leave you guys alone now". Roman said.
Seth and Roman went back to their room so Dean can be with the twins, Sophie was glued to Dean the whole time.
"Baby i'm not going anywhere". Dean said.
"I thought they were gonna hurt us". Sophie said.
"They won't ever come near you guys again". Dean assured her.
"They wanted to take us home, back to Cincinnati". She said.
Dean held her a little tighter and kissed her temple. "Don't worry sweetheart they'll never bother us again". He said.
They had went back in to see TJ still asleep so they decided to turn in since it was an exhausting day for all of them, Sophie had quickly changed so did Dean. Dean knew that the twins didn't want to be alone so he was in the middle, TJ was on the left, and Sophie was on the right, Sophie had curled into Dean's side snuggling her head into the crook of his shoulder while TJ curled into his left side they had all fallen asleep.
